Hi Ron, Ron: > If evidence is the only qualifier between faith and reason whos to say > Whos interpretation trumps if the data is the same but the explanation > Varies?
Steve: People will only have different interpretations of evidence. That's not the problem. The problem is when someone opts out of the dialogue about how best to interpret evidence by saying, I just have faith that what I am saying is true. Ron: > I think there is a difference between blind faith and faith, faith > being > The trust in a belief. Steve: I've been having a hard time getting across what sort of use of the word faith I'm criticizing. I'm criticizing the sort of faith that is used to state that a claim is beyond rational criticism. I'm not talking about faith as in trust in a belief. The role of uncertainty is relevant. Faith is never about probabilities. If you can attach a probability to say how sure you are, you don't mean the sort of faith I'm talking about.
